Hi, How to Use MTMode ?

I have a i7 2600k cpu / 8 gb ram
Normal rip (not mtmode) = %32 CPU

I wrote a script:
SetMTMode(thrads=8)
Speed : % 35 CPU

Please, help me :)

[LigH]

Using multi-threading in AviSynth is not really trivial (with some bad luck it may even crash instead of speedup, or corrupt the video content). And it isn't a guaranteed speed boost either. If the script filtering is not the slowest part of the processing, multi-threading the script won't give you any remarkable boost. Then it's like a spoiler on a city car trying to equalize a pulled handbrake – wrong tuning target.

[MatLz]

setmtmode(5,x)
sourcefilter()
setmtmode(2,x)
filters()

As I am on a core2, I use x=2.
For you, dunno if it should be cores number or threads number.

[jouchan]

run as administrator

ok, its mean impossible to run as user..right?:scared:

[benjyv]

Since I've checked OSD option in ffdshow config.,Frame Number and Frame Type appears on every Ripbot encode, on left upper corner.

Why?

I can give up to that checking, but it's necessary in getting some comparison screens...

So , what's to do?

[LigH]

If you use DirectShowSource, and ffdshow is used as video decoder filters, it renders all the post processing filters for DirectShowSource which you also use in video playback.

Try to use an AviSynth native source plugin instead of DirectShowSource to avoid ffdshow being used in conversions.

Please, help me :)

I´m asking too ...

my CPU utilization is about 65-70 % when encoding 1080 material, when encoding SD material, utilization is close to 100 %

I´m converting my collection of DVDs to H264/AAC/MP4 with denoising(if needed) / (optionaly deinterlace) and resize to 1080

using intel Q8300@3GHz/6GB RAM/win7 x64 ultimate, GT430, RipBot,DGDecNV,FFT3DGPU

encoding fps with 1920x1080 is ~ 3, with 1440x1080 is ~4 -4.3

im doing resizing and deinterlacing with DGDecode ( for old movies, its enough )

I´m asking experienced users to help us speeding up our encoding process, It will be more useful, than waiting for new version of RipBot.

Thank you all and Thank you Atak for your work

:)

[Atak_Snajpera]

For DVD sources you can try this

#MT
SetMTMode(5,0)

#VideoSource
LoadPlugin("...\Tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
video=MPEG2Source("C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.d2v")
SetMTMode(2)
#Deinterlace
...


if you use GPU denoising you must set back MT mode to 5!
GPU denosing does not work well with multiple instances.
#MT
SetMTMode(5,0)

#VideoSource
LoadPlugin("...\Tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
video=MPEG2Source("C:\Temp\RipBot264temp\job1\job1.d2v")
SetMTMode(2)
#Deinterlace
...

SetMTMode(5)
#Denoise
LoadPlugin("...\Tools\AviSynth plugins\fft3dgpu\fft3dgpu.dll")
LoadPlugin("...\Tools\AviSynth plugins\gradfun2db\gradfun2db.dll")
video=FFT3DGPU(video,sigma=1.25).gradfun2db


First example will give you the highest cpu usage and encoding speed.

If you are more obsessed with cpu utilization than speed :

FastFirstPassin2passMode=0

[dbart]

thanks

i will try tommorow ( today evening i will visit theatre)

so avisynth MT

last question for now: 32 or 64 bit version of avisynth ?

ps. i´m not obssesed by CPU using, but i´m not happy, when there is a potential to speed up things. When there will be no space to speed up and fps will be still ~3 i will be happy (until i switch to powerfull HW ;) )

[Atak_Snajpera]

32 bit

[benjyv]

Try to use an AviSynth native source plugin instead of DirectShowSource..

Gimme,pls an exemple of such AvS native source plugin or a link where to find it!

Thanks!

[LigH]

Depends on the source format, your hardware, your wallet ... FFmpegSource, DGDecNV, DGAVCDecDI, DGMPGDec ...

[benjyv]

FFmpegSource ,of course....

[Paxmilitaris]

Hi
Thanks for the app, but why does the portable version ask me to install avisynth and ffdshow or some such programs?
Doesn't that kind of defeit the purpose of having a portable app?

[fantasmanegro]

portable?.... ripbot264 has no installer "officially"... and as the thread's title says... it is a GUI... so it needs avisynth and ffdshow to work

[rc71]

Remember the beauty of the i5 and i7 is that the multicore processing is hardware process. There fore they use multicore processing on none mulithreaded apps. That being said, you have 4 cores that is really 2 x 2. So software can use 4 cores/software or just hardware 2 cores/hardware.

[igorgladunyak]

RipBot264 support OS Linux?

[dbart]

lets continue talk about speeding-up things

using MT don´t bring expected effect, but it was expected (with using GPU filtering) :)

I tried to move CPU freq for another 500 MHz (from 2,5 to 3,0 to 3,5 GHz) and there is not problem with CPU, wprime runs without problems (but there are problems with memories DDR2-800 running on 952, i must start "overclock" also them).

other thing that help (little bit) was change process priority from normal to high, (x264-x64, avs2yuv, pipebuf) - maybe tip for future ripbot versions

what is the purpose of two last programs? i dont see them in for example in 64-bit version of x264 HD benchmark.

[hoju3508]

RipBot264 support OS Linux?

Nope.

[juramirez]

RipBot264 support OS Linux?

No, but I've had great success running it in a VM in Parallels Desktop for Mac OSX, so I suppose you could probably manage to get it running in a Virtual Box VM off Linux.

[shagratt71]

Ive been using the latest version of Ripbot for about a week now to encode all my original StarTrek TNG episodes. The profile Ive been using is High 4.0 HD Interlaced as my sources are MPEG's interlaced. Because I'm fairly new to encoding with Ripbot I would also like to know how I go about updating the x264 encoder?, is it just a case of going into the Tools folder and swapping out the x264 for latest one?.

I'd also like to give a personal thanks to the developer Atak Snajpera. I will be making a donation in due course as this program is one of the best out there.

Merry Xmas

[pacaveli211]

the interlaced profile is to output interlaced video

x264 exes can be swapped out

[shagratt71]

the interlaced profile is to output interlaced video

Thanks for your reply Paceveli. Im abit shocked to say the least!, All this time I thought that the HD interlaced profile was deinterlacing and encoding it to progressive scan type!. Heres me thinking that the deinterlacer was excellent!lol. :eek: .

Ok because I'm very new to all this I will need some advice on how to handle the source I have. Like I said its MPEG Interlaced, however its only partially interlaced TFF. heres the MediaInfo:

Ideally I would like to convert to progressive, however I've not had any problems with the encodes that I now know to be MBAFF...

[shagratt71]

On MeWiki - x264 settings the following is stated under the tff section:

"Enable interlaced encoding and specify the top field is first. x264's interlaced encoding uses MBAFF, and is inherently less efficient than progressive encoding. For that reason, you should only encode interlaced if you intend to display the video on an interlaced display (or can't deinterlace the video before sending it to x264)."

My question is how is it less efficient exactly?.

[Atak_Snajpera]

in pal eveything is simpler. in your case you dont have to do any deinterlacing because both fields belong to the same frame so you should not see any horizontal lines. just use hd progressive profile

[shagratt71]

Hi Atak, Im in the process of encoding using just the progressive profile, I'll let you know how it goes :thanks:

[vrpatilisl]

can it rip dvds.

Hi Atak, Ok I tried encoding with just the hd Progressive profile. Unfortunately I'm getting alot of combing during moving scense. Would it be just better to use interlaced?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Hello everyone, Just had a question. I had some HDD failure and had to reinstall everything. Now i am having trouble with ripbot when demuxing a blu-ray. i get a message saying cant open audio track when trying to encode to FLAC. I have uninstalled and reinstalled AviSynth, fdd, and Haali. and redownloaded Ripbot.

Just looking for any help. Im thinking maybe its just a settings error. I will post full error when demuxing is finished.

thanks everyone.

Hi Benjyv, Thanks for your reply. I very rarely use two pass encoding as I prefer Constant Quality.

Sadly encoding StarTrek TNG to progressive is not going to be as simple as picking a standard tff deinterlacer... This series is notorious for telecined content mixed with interlaced content within the same frame.

I just did a quick Google "startrek tng interlaced" and I got lots of hits on people having problems.

[benjyv]

This series is notorious for telecined content mixed with interlaced content within the same frame.

Well, in this case you must use a proof method....Have you tried QTGMC ? or others ?

[shagratt71]

Can QTGMC be used within Ripbot?

[nosnoop]

I tried converting rmvb video to mp4 or mkv, and i ran into video/audio sync problem.
What I found was that the converted video ran too fast.

The original video is a 25fps rmvb at 46min 11s in length (69275 frames).
Everything set at default except correcting the aspect ratio by resize it from 720x480 to 852x480.

In the converted video, the video programming would end at 45min 5s; interestingly, from 45min 6s onwards, the last 66 seconds of the video was repeated.
So the total length of the video remains at 46min 11s with the same 69275 frames. But obviously, all the video/audio are getting more and more off sync as it plays.

I had no problems in other conversion such as blu-ray to MKV etc. It's the first time I tried with RMVB video.

Any pointers would be most appreciated.

Question for you all,
I'm backing up my Blurays and add the HD audio track with MKVMerge afterwards.
So is there any way to just grab the video from RipBot by skipping the demuxing of the audio?
Can I modify the ini for that?
Thanks!

[ArieS1204]

What about my question Atak? :(

[nosnoop]

@nosnoop
try this

Hi Atak, thanks for your reply.

I tried adding convertfps=true as instructed.
The video/audio is now in sync; but the new problem is that the video now looks like stop motion movie with stuttering similar to a 12fps or 15fps video instead of 25fps. I tried putting in fps=25, but it did not help.

I wonder why the convertfps is dropping so many frames.
Anything else I missed? TIA!

[CommonMortal]

Stupid question, but i am trying to do the following:

- Use presets (like slow).
- Use tune film and merange 24.
- Downmix to AC3 stereo.

Maybe i am dumb but i can't find these settings. Is there some way to see them?

Thank you.

For audio use the box with ... same for video. Use the Properties button next to CQ 22 to adjust for source.

Thanks, but in the audio options, there is only AC3 384kbps (and above), which shouldn't be stereo... There is only AAC 192kbps, which is stereo, but i don't want AAC, i want AC3.

Also in the properties button next to CQ22, i don't see anywhere an option to set merange to 24 (nor preset slow).

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say? "Grab the video from Ripbot"?

If you just want the video, use MKVmerge to extract. If you don't want to encode the Audio, set the Audio to No Audio.

[rc71]

i don't see anywhere an option to set merange to 24 (nor preset slow).

Look a little harder. The number is literally in a drop down box.
